Ryan, I just got both L & R door shells for my '56 wrecker at Truck Carlisle
for $100 each. They both need minor repair at the bottoms (not patch
panels) and a few small dings fixed. I think I got a great deal! The
drivers door is the hard one to find. It the doors are PERFECT they would
be worth $400 here on the East Coast.
Good luck!
